Fernwood New Zealand Tree Fern Boards
Fernwood New Zealand Tree Fern Boards are thicker mounting boards made from 100% New Zealand tree fern, sold in sets of two. At 2.5 cm deep, they hold significantly more moisture than the thinner panels and provide a more substantial surface for root systems to grow into and anchor against, which is why they are specifically designed for orchid mounting and heavier epiphytes rather than lighter lining and display work. The fibrous surface is soft and porous, wires push through easily and hold firmly. Available in three sizes: 30.5×15×2.5 cm, 50×20×2.5 cm, and 30.5×30.5×2.5 cm, all sold as a pair.
Where home plant growers use them most:
- Orchid mounting: The primary use. Phalaenopsis, cattleya, vanda, and other epiphytic orchids are wired or pinned to the board, where roots grip the thick fibrous surface and draw moisture directly from the material. The extra depth holds more water than thinner panels, reducing how often the mount needs soaking or misting
- Large staghorn ferns: The 30.5×30.5 cm square size suits mature staghorn ferns with substantial root systems that need a wider, deeper surface to anchor to as the plant grows
- Hanging specimen plants: Boards are thick enough to support the weight of larger mounted plants as a standalone hanging piece, wire pushed through the fiber at the top for a hook without the board splitting or distorting
- Dedicated wall installations: Used as a permanent fixture on a wall or in a greenhouse, with orchids and air plants attached directly to the board surface and watered in place by soaking or misting on a regular schedule

What Our Customers Say

This is definitely an excellent potting mix!
Once I replaced the mix of my alocasia with this, it started thriving and pushing out new sprouts. It's a chunky and airy mix so watering becomes more frequent but great for plants that hate wet feet and get root rot fast.

This is my third purchase of this potting mix, and it continues to impress. The drainage is excellent, and my plants have been growing healthier than ever.
Ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. High-quality potting mix. Even though I definitely don't have green fingers. A reliable mix that makes plant care so much easier. Highly recommended.

Can't find a better soil mix to start my plant journey with! 2 weeks in and my plants are flourishing!

My alocasia stingray suffered from root rot and was attacked by mealy bugs. Potted an almost dead plant with just 1 yellowing leaf and few roots in this mix.
Today I cut off the last leaf and look, there is a sign of life. This potting mix is great. If I had known about this earlier, I would have fewer dead plants

Exactly 1 month since repot. This is a propagated anthurium and suffice to say, it absolutely loves the soil and the net pot.
I've had this plant since January and this is the first time it's growing 7 new leaves all at once! My only regret is that I wish bought a bigger pot because boy these roots grow fast!
— Gian J.
Excellent. Bought this as a recommendation from a friend and it works.

The soil is a good base and very suitable for adding amendments to suit the needs of your plant. I tried many soilless mixes, I like this one the most, for me it is the most versatile and easiest to use. Wish it came in a smaller 2L pack though. Good price and was delivered fast.

I'd highly recommend this potting mix as my alocasia roots grow very well and healthy in it. I'm also using it for other plant.
